Unseen pics: Neil Nitin Mukesh-Rukmini's ring ceremony and mehendi

Neil Nitin Mukesh and Rukmini Sahay will enter into wedlock
in Udaipur today and the pre-wedding rituals kick-started two days ago with
ring, mehendi and sangeet ceremony. The mehendi ceremony of Neil and Rukmini
was very colorful. Along with the would-to-be bride and the groom, all the
family members and friends were dressed in colorful attires. The venue was
beautifully decorated.

The mehendi ceremony had a royal Rajasthani touch. Fire dancers
were invited to make the event memorable. Bride-to-be
Rukmini wore a beautiful lehenga in pastel shades with floral jewellery, while
the groom-to-be Neil donned an orange and pink traditional attire.

During the sangeet night,
Neil and Rukmini exchanged rings and hit the dance floor. Neil grooved to
Kala Chashma. Later, the couple took blessings from Neil's father Nitin Mukesh.

Neil and Rukmini got engaged
last year in October. Both the bride and the groom’s family knew each other very well.

The big fat royal wedding
will take place today and it will be followed by a lavish weding reception on 17th
February. Who’s who of
Bollywood are expected to grace the wedding reception party of Neil Nitin
Mukesh and Rukmini Sahay.

The ring ceremony includes some champagne popping, cake cutting.

Neil Nitin Mukesh said, “It is brilliant to see the family
getting together. I’d like to call the big fat family get together rather than
the big fat Punjabi family. It all just feels like a family holiday.”

Rukmini looked stunning in a shining
lehenga while Neil looked dapper in a maroon sherwani.

Neil’s outfit was designed by Shobha De’s son and designer
Aditya Kilachand while Mumbai-based Sarath Krishnan designed Rukmini’s pink
lehenga.

Neil's parents Nitin Mukesh and Nishi Mukesh is quite impressed
by Rukmini's simplicity and upbringing. Nitin Mukesh said, "She reflects
the values and traditions that Neil has been raised with and complements him in
every way possible. The celebrations to the final countdown have already
begun."

After marriage, Neil and Rukmini have no plans to move out of
the Mukesh residence. "I am not moving out. I have got a new house. It
just coincidentally happened to be that - Dussehra, housewarming and this
(engagement). I am definitely not moving out. My father and mother won't allow me
too... and I don't want that to happen," said Neil.
